I have other ASICS that run true to size. These run a little big. I wish I would have gotten a 1/2 size smaller

Comfortable shoe I wear for long distance walking, the left fits tighter than the right.

For running, the toe box is narrow. I have small feet and usually wear a size 4.5, however for running shoes, I wear a size 5. My toes have very little wiggle room in these Gel-pulse 13, which resulted in black toe. I did not experience this issue in previous versions of Pulse. Moving on to a different style and if it doesn't work, I guess I'll move on to a different brand.

These shoes are very comfortable. Have Achilles support, but are awful to clean. I've tried everything and they are trashed immediately

too narrow in toe box. Good quality but edges of toes constrained in these.

I have worn a size 8 ascis running shoe for many years. This year, I returned 3 pairs of 8 because my toe hit the end. The width, arch support and feel were just right, but I am sure with my toes hitting the end, it would not have lasted long. I returned them for an 8 and have to wear thick socks for them to feel right. The shoes does make me nearly as happy.

These shoes run wide for my foot and the quality isn't what I'm accustomed to. Don't expect them to be long lasting

Great shoes, the do run a little small. I suggest going up a half size. Other than that they're great!

I ALWAYS wear a 7 1/2 in ASICS. These were too small, my toe was touching the end of the shoe. I ordered an 8 and then it was just big overall. Both pairs were returned.

These just did not work. The shoe itself was not flexible- the topline/heel foot opening was thick, bulky and stiff. They also didn't have enough cushioning for me (PF/heel spurs). It seemed bulkier than my GTs and other Asics that I own.

These run small and bruise my toes. I have another pair of Asics that are the same size and fit me perfectly. Not really sure what's going on with the toe area, but they are comfy outside of that, but unfortunately, unwearable.

Looks very nice and I am sure these are good for most people but not for me. The left shoe was hurting my arche so bad. I tried to break them by wearing them for a few days and ended up in big pain. Unfortunately since I wore them, I cannot return them.

I use these shoes for walking and they are very comfortable! True to size but after only several months of having these the gel cushion on the heel of the shoe is crumbling and peeling off. As you can see in the photo I attached my shoes are in pretty good condition except for the gel cushion on the heel. Really disappointed in the quality

shoe is OK, for the price. it's just that one shoelace is 3" shorter than the other. creates problem. maybe a new pair of matching show laces could be sent?
thanks

This is the first time I have ever had to return a pair of Asics because they hurt my feet. I've been wearing Asics for years in perfect comfort - until this pair.
Maybe it's me and my feet, but on me, the arch of this shoe hits me too far back, like it's too close to my heel. Inserting an orthotic didn't help.
I don't know if they did or didn't, but it certainly feels like they've changed the lasts. If that's the case, I need to find another brand of shoes. Very disappointing.
The fabric on this shoe also feels kind of flimsy. They have to go back. I'm sad about this. I've been wearing Asics forever. :-(

I wasn't impressed with these shoes. They actually hurt my feet and didn't keep any comfort in them. I felt like they squished my feet after a workout. Which never happened with any of the shoes I've gotten. Was disappointed and had to buy another pair that I knew worked for me. I wished they had worked!!

Didn't provide the arch support that I was looking for, and they were too wide across the toe box as well......I ended up returning them.

Its design generates injuries to the athlete's foot, it is not suitable for running.

Trying to replace a Saucony Grid Momentum walking shoe. These shoes are very rigid and firm. Not comfortable.

I've been wearing Asics for nearly 30 years as an avid runner in the "90s and '00s (Gel-Keyano), and now as an older walker (Gel-Pulse 12). The Pulse 13 is very different from the Pulse 12. First, I generally wear a 9 (or EU 39), but I need a 9.5 - 10 in this newest version. The toe box is more narrow and less flexible. My second toe is longer than my first big toe, and after my first 5 mile walk, my toes felt bruised and squished. I was hoping these just needed to be a little more broken in, so after a few days, I tried again, and then again on a third day - no luck. After 15 total miles, 3 walks, my second toe on both feet is bruised and black and blue. I would love to return these, but they no longer meet the requirements for a refund, so maybe I can donate these to a shelter. It's too bad, I'll be looking for a new shoe and maybe I'm no longer walking in Asics... :(

The shoe is super comfortable but this shoe and a previous one i had the metal piece in the back sticks out after a few uses making the shoe painful to wear
